Andrew Davies - his injury/playing record makes Darren Young look like Stanley Matthews. Genius move from the mighty Dee, there...

To be brutally honest, any team playing with Robson and Woods in central midfield doesn't deserve to be playing top flight football. There's not much in the way of better replacements, though, which is kind of why we are in this mess, I suppose.

How crap are Hearts????

STV has just described it as more popular than V&A.

Can't remember if I posted this last year or not, but I would love to see the club being a bit more creative with season tickets. (Just using rough figures to give you the general idea) For example: PATG is £27 on average, and season ticket works out at about £22 per match. Not every one gets a season ticket due to work/family commitments, so offer a 10 match ticket at say, £25 per game. You can use your tickets for any ten games you wish, but have to let the club know in advance if it's for an all-ticket game, so they can reserve the seat and not sell it to someone else. Secondly, you can pay an extra, say £30-£40 on your season ticket price and you get entrance to all cup games at Dens. If we don't get drawn at home in the cup, or only get the group games in the LC, then you're probably losing out, but we could get home draws all the way to both quarter finals () and be quids in. I would just love us to be a bit more innovative and try and encourage more than just the diehard fans...

TBF, that worked for Celtic, who got the £60 million for Dembele that he was worth...

Yet...

Can anyone remember any game where we actually physically dominated a team, rather than getting bullied off of every 50/50 challenge?? Totally fed up with getting pushed around by teams all the time...

Which year will that be? Apparently, it'll be finished for the DAB'S promotion back to the top flight....

I'm sure that, if @Ludo*1 ever finishes it, he'll get a top 5 finish in the "most hated players" poll...

I presume this means that McIntyre has finished raiding County for former players and has moved on to QOS???

Had to laugh at BBC Scotland this morning - 8:25am sports report and a vox pop from Neil McCann saying he definitely doesn't think Brendan will leave Celtic for Leicester. 8:40am breaking news bulletin that Brendan will (almost definitely) be leaving Celtic. What a pundit, what a manager...

One sixth of this article is devoted to everyone's favourite Albert Kidd moment... https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/feb/06/the-joy-of-six-football-title-run-ins The picture taken next to the railings is in evidence and the last sentence is a classic: "Then up popped Albert Kidd, the substitute striker who had not scored all season, with a stab of the boot that was a dagger to the Hearts. The cruel Kidd did it again six minutes later too. Hearts are still broken to this day."

I wonder if there's a reason why there's such a relatively large difference between the top two and the rest?????

What really pisses me off about the current situation is the comparison with Killie: Both of us have players who have signed a PCA with the Blue Bigots. Clarke at Killie says, in essence, "he's still our player until the end of the season, so I'll play him when it suit us, he will do his best for us or I'll throttle him" he plays against them, scores a beauty of a winner and is seen as integral part of their squad for the rest of the season. Dundee say, in effect, "Oh, we're not sure about playing Kamara, as his head might not be in the right place, and if we play him in the Cup, then we wouldn't be able to play for them if he moves on before the end of the season, so we better not, and it might be best all round if he goes before the end of the window for a derisory sum of money, regardless of any detrimental effect on us". Spineless management, spineless team.

Neil McCann has a proven record of keeping teams (well, one team) up when all is going poorly.... It's the only appointment that makes sense.

I'm presuming we will get a derisory cash sum and a loanee we've never heard of so that the Blue Bigots can get Kamara on Thursday...

That's even worse I've got: Hitler becomes a German citizen (!!), Amelia Earhart flies across the Atlantic, FDR wins his first Presidential election and the Sydney Harbour Bridge opens. Not even a season following Dundee is as depressing as this...

Thanks for that. Feel ridiculously old now...

I've said before and will say again: I think mandianga is a decent player and well worth another chance. Seems a much better option than what we currently have...

With Dundee FC, either is possible...

Wonder if he will have a better injury track record than the most recent winger we signed from down south... How is Roarie "made of glass" Deacon getting on with his recovery anyway???

Someone at the official site must have missed out the bit on his bio where he played for County... I presume he can't be more of a bombscare than Hamilton. Can he?

18 month contract for Davies...

Maybe we should just go the whole hog and announce a merger with Ross County... Have we been (seriously) liked with any player who didn't play for County since McIntyre came in???
